Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Judy Carrier with Jewels by Park Lane and I'm here to talk to you about how to get real gold jewelry to see, and of course you do want to make a profit so my first tip is buy low, sell high. Wasn't that hard? Now, the easiest way to get gold jewelry is raid your grandmothers jewelry box, or you know, your moms, or see what you've got laying around the house because we all have pieces that we're no longer wearing. And they have value. And before you go to sell it by the way, clean it up. You know it does have more value that way. You have to be able to see it to appreciate it. Another place that you could get gold jewelry is check the newspapers. People are always selling things, especially in this economic time that we're living in. People want extra money and so they're selling everything they're not using. So you can get some really good deals just by checking local news ads. Flyers, you can go to flea markets. People are selling anything, and everything at a flea market. If you don't want to go down to a flea market, you know and walk around from stall to stall, go online. In essence you're hitting virtual flea markets, they're also known as auctions. The one thing that you want to do when you go online of course is make sure that you're buying a, gold jewelry and that it's going to be accredited. You're going to have documentation of the karat weight and decide whether you're buying for investment or whether you're buying for something to wear because when you're buying for something to wear you're also going to consider setting, and the cut, and the clarity and all that sort of thing. If you're buying just for an investment you're simply going to go for weight and the one thing to remember there is whether they're selling you scrap weight or whether it's just the actual weight of the piece. So a couple other things that might enter in but primarily there is many avenues of finding gold to sell that we overlook and you go to sites that are perhaps lesser known because they're not hit on as often and so you're going to find good deals. It might take a little longer but it's worth the search. So that's the easiest way of getting gold jewelry just ask people, do you have anything laying around because I'm in the market? I'm Judy Carrier with Jewels by Park Lane, that's how you get gold jewelry."
